Is this fsf free hardware? What is performance compared to a x86 duo core mainboard? There is the matter of the gpu, is it solvable by adding a free hardware gpu?

I hope it's free......
...But, anyway, it's not a laptop......yet.

I am a member!
Sorry.
I found this in their materials:
"Free and Open from the ground up (Well not 100% - we don't have the tape-outs for the ICs and we have had to sign a couple of NDAs, and there is the whole issue of UEFI but...)"

Well, don't say sorry yet because even after they said that I think they're still, so far, a bit more open and free than Chris' computers!
And I wouldn't mind using Chris' computers freedom-wise so I think they're still fine.
